A 63-year-old former prisoner has recounted how he was wrongly and painfully sentenced to 15 years in prison for rape, all because of what he believed was a kind act toward a stranger.
The ex-convict shared how, on one fateful evening while driving his private car from Accra to the Central Region, he encountered a young lady by the roadside who beckoned him for a lift to her destination.
According to him, he was, at the time, an elder in the Christ Apostolic Church and initially mistook the lady for one of the ushers in his church.
Based on that assumption, he stopped to pick her up.
